For one evening only, Gallery North will be opening its doors after-hours, as it joins with over 30 cultural venues around the city, to take part in The Late Shows 2009, in celebration of the international event Museums at Night.
Visitors can delve into Politics and People, an exhibition of works including well-know artist Bob and Roberta Smith and beautiful street banners from Lotte Shankland's community workshop, among others.
Put forward your political ideas on paper or film and get involved with artists on-site as they make the most interesting of the banners over the course of the evening.
To help you get around from venue to venue a free bus service will be running during the evening from 7pm, which will drop off and pick up at key points on the route. For more information about The Late Shows, bus stops and routes visit www.thelateshows.org.uk
